Badge of 

The Holland Society of Xew-York. 

adopted march 30, 1887. 



'^*^^i^i^ 




The most significant medal, from an historical point of view, 
which was ever struck in Holland, is the so-called "Beggars- 
Medal." It is the memorial of the very first steps of that march 
toward civil and religious liberty in which the men of the Neth- 
erlands, after heroic struggles, finally led the world. And there- 
fore it is a most appropriate token for us to wear, who have re- 
ceived in largest measure, in this New Republic, the benefits of 
the noble conflict of our Dutch forefathers. 



38 

lu Bizot's ^' Medallic History of the Republic of Holland/' pub- 
lished at Amsterdam iu 1690, the place of honor is given to this 
famous '• Geuzenpenning/' The following description of its ori- 
gin is translated from that work, with a few additions from the 
accounts given by Prof. J. W. Kitchin, of Oxford : 

'' In the year 1565, immediately after the decrees of the Council 
of Trent were promulgated, Philip 11. determined to put them in 
force throughout his dominions. Accordingly, he now made a 
more vehement attack upon the reformers ; and then it was, 
in 1566, that the Netherland nobles, led by Count Brederode, 
signed the famous ' Compromise/ with which the open rebellion 
of the provinces begins. Margaret of Parma was Phillip's re- 
gent in the Low Countries. Before her Brederode appeared with 
the Protest against the Inquisition and other innovations which 
the King proposed to introduce into Holland. He was accom- 
panied by three hundred noblemen, who had bound themselves 
together for the preservation of the liberties of the provinces. 
The Duchess of Parma appeared to be much disturbed at the 
sight of such a multitude of noble remonstrants; but the Count of 
Barlemont, who stood beside her, begged her not to be alarmed. 
^For,' said he, in French, 'they are only beggars.' 

" The next day, the 6th of April, 1566, as the confederates were 
sitting together at dinner, and talking of a name for their new 
party, they remembered Barlemont's sneer, and cried out, ^ Vi- 
vent Jes Oueux,^ — ' Hurrah for the Beggars ! ' When dinner was 
over, Brederode, having hung a beggar's wallet around his neck, 
filled a wooden bowl with wine and drank the health of the com- 
pany, declaring that for his part he was ready to sacrifice life, 
property, everything, in defense of his country's freedom. The 
room rang with applause. — ' Hurrah for the Beggars ! ' The cup 
was passed from hand to hand. Every man drank the same 
toast and made the same pledge of devotion. And thus it was 
that the name of the Gueux, or beggars, which has become famous 



39 

throughout Europe, had its origin at a social feast ; for it often 
happens that the most important and serious affairs begin amid 
jests and laughter. 

"Soon afterward the men of the new party appeared at Brus- 
sels dressed in coarse gray cloth, with wooden cups attached to 
their belts, and w^ith this medal hanging about their necks." 

One of these medals was w^orn by William of Orange at the 
time of his assassination. 

The following is the description, translated by the first Secre- 
tary of the Society, Mr. Geo. W. Van Siclen, from Van Loon's 
'^ Nederlandsche Penningen " : 

''The nobles assembled several times in different places to find 
methods to protect the liberties of their country from the perils 
which menaced them from all sides. Those who showed them- 
selves most zealous and most ardent upon these occasions were 
Henri de Brederode ; Louis of Nassau, brother of the Prince of 
Orange; Florent de Pallant, Count of Culembourg; and Wil- 
liam, Count of Bergen. They pushed the affair so far that meet- 
ings were held, first in Breda, and afterw^ard at Hoogstraten. 

"At the latter place several discontented nobles projected an 
alliance, which, going from hand to hand, was in a short time 
accepted and signed by more than four hundred persons, all of 
whom promised to be in Brussels on a certain day. To give 
greater eclat to this league, Henry of Brederode, as chief of the 
confederates, found it convenient to make his entry into that city 
on the 3d of April, A. D. 1566, accompanied by Count Louis of 
Nassau and many nobles, followed by a great number of servants. 
The fourth day of that month was employed in preparations and 
in awaiting the Counts of Bergen and of Culembourg. Although 
the following day these lords had not yet arrived, the confed- 
erates did not delay in demanding an audience. It was granted 
to them, and the Princess Regent appointed the hour of noon to 
avoid the tumultuous concourse of the i^opulace. 



40 

" The time named being near, Brederode and Count Louis were 
seen to leave the residence of Culembourg- and to walk with a 
decent gravity toward the court, preceded by more than three 
hundred gentlemen, of whom they themselves formed the last 
rank. When they arrived before the Duchess, Brederode spoke 
for all, and having finished his harangue, he presented to Her 
Highness a petition signed in the name of all that illustrious 
troop. In this petition, after having represented their obedience 
and their fidelity to the King, they declared that, notwithstanding 
the hatred that their procedure would very likely draw upon them, 
they would risk, in the service of the King, showing to Her High- 
ness the dangerous condition of affairs, and warning her, if the 
protection of the Inquisition were continued, of the terrible con- 
sequences which they foresaw would shake the State to its 
foundations. They demanded, secondly, that the edict of the 
King relating to the Inquisition, and relating to religion in gene- 
ral, be reformed by the States-General, and that while awaiting 
this, the execution of the edict should be suspended, as a protec- 
tion against the sad evils of which they were already, and of 
which they would be more and more, the fertile source. 

'^ The Regent, hiding as well as possible the uneasiness and 
indignation which this affair caused her, received the petition, 
and replied to the supplicant that she would examine into 
their demands with the Lords of the Council, and that in a 
short time she would let them know her decision. With this 
response, the confederate lords returned to Culembourg's resi- 
dence in the same order and with the same gravity with which 
they had left it. 

''After the Regent had deliberated on the petition of the nobles, 
that Princess replied the following day in writing that she would 
represent to the King their first demand in the most favorable 
manner possible, but that she was obliged to refuse absolutely 
the second, because the matter was not in her power. 



41 

" While this affair was thus treated at the palace of the Prin- 
cess, the populace iusulted the confederate nobles by the oppro- 
brious epithet of (jueiix, which those who understood French 
badly changed into fjeuzen, which afterward became very com- 
mon as the name of a party or sect. Others say that the author 
of the sobriquet was the Banm of Barlemont, who, seeing the Re- 
gent surprised at the sight of so many nobles, tried to encourage 
her by saying, ^ Ce ne sont que cles gneuxJ However that may be, 
this name was received by the nobles as a precious epithet, and 
soon became the most honorable title of that illustrious league. 

''The 6th of April, Brederode, being at dinner with other 
lords of his party at Culembourg's, put around his neck a wallet, 
and filling with wine a wooden cup, like that worn by the beg- 
gars, made all the guests follow his example. He declared to 
them at the same time that while always remaining faithful to 
his King, not only would he risk everything in defense of the 
liberties of the country, although he might be reduced to carry- 
ing a wallet, but he was even ready to give up his life in so good 
a cause. All those who were at the feast, having in turn taken 
the wallet and the cup, made the same declaration one after 
the other, in the midst of a continual cry of 'Vivent Jes (jueux!^ 

" Several of these nobles appeared the next day in the streets 
dressed in gray frieze, and carrying at the girdle, as a badge of 
honor, a small wallet and a little wooden cup or calabash. 

" Then (A. D. 1566), as now (A. D. 1732), the wooden bowl was 
in Brabant, like the wallet, a distinctive mark, and so to speak, 
a livery of beggars. Furnished with this necessary utensil of 
their profession, they went certain days of the week to the clois- 
ters, where, after having taken part in the catechising, they each 
received, according as he had answered well or badly, a portion 
of soup left over by the monks. 

'•'It was by this low and despised method that the Professor, 
Thomas Stapleton, was able to reach the highest degree of eru- 



42 

dition, notwithstanding his poverty and low birth. Sure, thanks 
to his porringer, of victuals which were absolutely necessary to 
him, he applied himself first to the languages, and afterward to 
the higher sciences, with such success that he was honored with 
the most distinguished professorship in the University of Lou- 
vain. He never forgot his porringer. In the feasts which they 
gave when he was elevated to this important charge, not only did 
he then cause the first toast to be drunk in that cup, then orna- 
mented with a foot of silver, but he desired that after his death 
it should be added to the rich ornaments of his marble tomb, as 
an example and as a beacon for other distinguished men of ge- 
nius, the meanness of whose extraction might seem to condemn 
them to darkness. 

'• The reader must pardon me this digression, which I would 
not have made but for the same motive which caused this great 
man to parade his beggar's bowl. 

^^ The gourd or bottle had its origin from the usage made of 
it by the pilgrims — that class of people who, to perform a pen- 
ance or to fulfil certain vows, undertake a journey to the dis- 
tant shrine of some saint, like that of St. James in Spain, or of 
Loretto in Italy. They are obliged to go there begging by the 
way, and they carry this bottle-gourd or calabash attached to 
the girdle for the purpose of carrying water for their use when 
they traverse dry and arid parts of the country. For this reason 
these allied nobles made use both of the porringer and the w^al- 
let as an emblem of poverty, and to turn into 23leasantry the 
name of beggars which had been given to them with so much in- 
dignity. This is not all. These lords, wishing to engrave on 
each other's memory the vow which each had made to defend the 
pri\41eges of the country, even to carrying the wallet, took pride 
in wearing on the breast certain medals attached to ribbons, and 
very often joined with a porringer and a gourd." 

The form adopted by The Holland Society is a facsimile of the 



43 

one to which are attached two such porringers and a g'onrd or 
bottle, and shows on its face the armed bust of Philip II. of 
Spain, with the first half of the motto, "ex tout fidelles au 
ROi," and on the reverse two wallets, between the straps of 
which are two hands joined, with the remainder of the motto, 
'^jusqu'a porter la besace,'' together with the date, 1566, the 
figures of which are, however, separated, one in each corner 
formed by the crossed hands and wallets. 

Plaster casts of originals of various sizes, in the Museum of 
Antiquities in Amsterdam, were kindly presented to the Society 
by Dr. T. H. Blom Coster, physician to the Queen of the Neth- 
erlands. 

The die, which has been cut by Tiffany & Co., is the property 
of the Society. The medals, including the cups, the flagon, the 
orange ribbon and the pin, can be furnished in silver for six 
dollars ($6) each. They can also be supplied in gold for twenty- 
eight dollars ($28) each. Orders should be sent to, and checks 
made payable to the order of, Mr. Eugene Yan Schaick, Treas- 
urer, 6 Wall Street, New- York.
